I have a Cut scene and want to give the player the option of skipping this once it starts playing. StopVideo(e,1) doesn't seem to work and nothing will interrupt the video until it has reached it s end in standalone.

Any one got any workarounds or ideas?

I've only tried in testing and not a standalone game, but a simple Left Click ends the video by default.

Sorry but I guess my posts are all still moderated so I couldn't edit my previous reply. (Maybe a moderator can merge them?)

Anyway, I did make a standalone and had the same issue. I hope you get it solved and reply here if you do or not. I haven't used video for anything major yet but I do hope to soon.

Thanks for the reply to both Pete and Pete - Yeah in editor mode its the left click but as you say this doesn't stop the video in stand-alone - anyone else have any ideas?

This function exists with the global.lua file,

function StopVideo(e,v)
SendMessageI("stopvideo",e,v);
end

not exactly sure how to use it

Hi Nathan, thanks for the reply - that was my point and indeed that was what I have attempted to us but sadly the StopVideo call doesn't interrupt the video whilst playing.

I have noticed this issue. I think the left-click used to work. Not sure what went wrong.

You use the space bar now. The audio doesn't seem to stop when you do it though.

Yes, I can confirm this is a double bug with the StopVideo not ending the video immediately, and the standalone not responding to an early click out. I have added this report to the V1.14 tweak list, thanks!
